Prevent Accidents
To reduce the risk of fire, elertriral shock, or irrjury to persons when using your air
conditioner, follow basic precautions, including the following:
, Be sure the electrical service is adequate for the model you have chosen, This
information can be found or] the serial plate, which is located on the side of the
cabinet and behind the grille,
• If the air conditioner is to be installed in a window, you will probably want to
clean both sides of the glass first, If the window is a triple-track type with a
screen panel included, remove the screen completely before installation,
° Be sure the air conditioner has been securely and correctly installed according to
the separate installation instructions provided with this manual, Savethis manual
and the installation instructions for possible future use in removing or reinstalling
this unit.
• When handling the air conditioner, be careful to avoid cuts from sharp metal fins
on front and rear coils.
Electrical Information
The complete electrical rating of your new room air conditioner is stated or] the
serial plate, Refer to the rating when checking the electrical requirements,
• Be sure the air conditioner is properly, grounded, To minimize shock and fire
hazards, proper grounding is important, The power cord is equipped with a
three-prong grounding plug for protection against shock hazards,
, Your air conditioner must be used in a properly grounded wall receptacle, If the
wall receptacle you intend to use is not adequately grounded or protected by a
time delay fuse or circuit breaker, have a qualified electrician install the proper
receptacle,
• Do not run air conditioner with outside protective cover in place, This could result
in mechanical damage within the air conditioner,
, Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug,
Energy Saving Ideas
/
/'
o Do not block air flow inside with blinds, curtains or furniture; or
outside with shrubs, enclosures, or other buildings.
° The capacity of the room air conditioner must fit the room size for efficient and
satisfactory operation,
° Install the room air conditioner or] the shady side of your home, A window that
faces north is best because it isshaded most of the day,,
° Close the fireplace damper, floor and wall registers so cool air does not escape
up the chimney and into the duct work,
° Keep blinds and drapes in other windows closed during the sunniest part of the
day.
• Clear] the air filter as recommended in the section "Care and Cleaning,"
, Proper insulation and water stripping in your home will help keep warm air out
and cool air in,
° External house shading with trees, plants or awnings will help reduce the air
conditioner's work load,
° Operate heat producing appliances such as ranges, washers, dryers and
dishwashers during the coolest part of the day,
